More family visits!

Cory's parents came for a week! We had lots of fun! I think Gavin wore them out though, but I'm sure it was worth it for them! Thanks for visiting us Mama and Bapa B!!

Playing blocks! They are eating boiled peanuts! Bapa and Mama bought Gavin some dibs ice cream which he loved! Out to dinner at La Bamba!

Playing in the new pool!

A present for Bapa!

Gavin's cute little mohawk!

Running up and down the chinook ramp!

Gazing at the helicopters at the museum.

Great Story!

I saw this on another blog and had to share it with you all!!

I remember the time that Kathryn, one of my daughter's little friends, told me that she wanted to be President one day.

Both of her parents are liberal Democrats and were standing there with us - and I asked Kathryn, 'If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?'Kathryn replied, 'I would give houses to all the homeless people.'

'Wow, what a worthy goal you have there, Kathryn.' I told her, 'You don't have to wait until you are President to do that… you can come over to my house and clean up all the dog poop in the back yard and I will pay you $5.00. Then we can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $5.00 to use for a new house.'

Kathryn, who was about 4, thought that over for a second while her mom looked at me, and then she replied, 'Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and clean up the dog poop and you can pay him the $5.00?'

Bingo! Welcome to the Republican Party, Kathryn.

sprinkler time!!

Gavin and I had a lot of fun outside the other day! I turned on the sprinkler and it made puddles where the patio and the grass meet....we had fun running through the muddy puddles and getting wet from the sprinkler...even though we had clothes on and not our swimming suits!

A helicopter was flying over head!

Spinning around!

Standing in the puddle with a big cheesey grin!

Wow this is one cute kid!

Our dirty muddy feet after running in the puddles!!

Oh, but we had fun!!

Our Lizard Family

We have recently realized that we have a Skink (Lizard) family living in our back yard somewhere. Yesterday I looked out the window only to see this out on our rocks!!

We didn't seem to startle them so Gavin and I went outside to get a closer look!

They actually let us get pretty close!! Gavin thought it was pretty cool too! He didn't try to touch them or anything so that was good.

Right after this picture they got startled and ran away! These little guys are super fast too! I don't think we could catch one if we tried!! Gavin was sad that they went away....he wanted to keep looking for them.

a day at the beach

Cory had Friday off....so we decided to make the hour and a half drive down to Panama City Beach! We had a lot of fun jumping around in the waves and basking in the sun. Gavin loved chasing the seaguls around and digging in the sand. He wouldn't get down when we were standing in the waves...but I held him and we got hit quite a bit with big waves! Here are some pictures from our day at the beach!

After we got home we were pretty tired from being in the sun all day! We all showered and bathed and ate some BBQ from Larry's then just relaxed on the couch!

Whew!

Sorry for the delay in blogging. I have been a little busy. But things should slow down now for a little while.
Today I babysat a little girl that is about 9 months old. She was here bright and early at 6am because her Mom and Dad had a motorcycle safety class. I was a bit worried about how Gavin would react, but he was awesome! He made me laugh because he was so sweet with her. He kept giving her his toys and saying "Hi there" to her! She was a very sweet baby, we had a lot of fun with her!!
On to my next story....so whenever we are outside as a family and Kirby (our dog) goes potty, Gavin always says "Kirby poops." We always have to say "No, Gavin he's going potty." ....everytime! :0) So tonight we were all outside enjoying the weather for a bit and all the sudden Gavin stands there and lifts one leg. Cory and I were like..."Gavin what are you doing?" and he says so matter-of-factly (not sure how to spell that...) "I poop." This kid never ceases to amaze us! He always is coming up with something crazy to say!!!
After we came inside he found his hat from Mama and Bapa (from Panama City Beach)....he hasn't wanted anything to do with it...until tonight. He wanted to wear it all around. He looks adorable in it, by the way, so I was taking his picture. He was so funny, he kept wanting me to take his picture....which he never wants me to do.....so here are some pictures from our little photo shoot tonight! By the way, Gavin said what he wanted me to take the picture of in all of these pictures.....he's so hilarious!

I couldn't resist putting this next picture in here. It was taken a couple of days ago. Cory decided that Kirby needed to try on his helmet! HILARIOUS!! So I just had to take a picture!!
